SAFE Achievements 2009 – 2018

Our major focus of SAFE over the last two years has been growing our membership and stabilizing our financial situation. We are glad to report a doubling of members (growth of 45% in this last year; thank-you!) we are approaching 1600 now.

Commercial ACS released and with SAFE advocacy we have been assured “full stalls” (as on the Private) will be included in June 2018!

Resource Center of member-contributed documents / articles / media, many of these unavailable anywhere else, including simulator scenarios, syllabi and K-12 materials available to the public.

Developed and conducted the “Pilot Proficiency Project™”, a series of seminars coupled with simulator training scenarios, at AirVenture, SUN ‘N FUN AOPA Summit and the WAI Convention to standing room only audiences. Now presenting weekend events on a quarterly regional basis.

Chaired the “Pilot Training Reform” Symposium, a landmark event that drew top-tier industry and government stakeholders, promoting and fostering the improvement of aviation safety, reducing the fatal accident rate, and increasing student pilot starts and retention. Now the Pilot Training Reform initiative work is ongoing.

Partnered with the FAASTeam to create all content for the “Flight Instructor Open Forum” series. Twelve Forums have been delivered to the FAASTeam to date.
